Quote by William James
Everyone knows that on any given day there are energies slumbering in him which the incitement's of that day do not call forth. Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. The human individual usually lives far within his limits.
Summary
This quote suggests that within ourselves, there are untapped energies and abilities that remain dormant due to the lack of circumstances or external stimuli to bring them forth. It suggests that we are capable of achieving and becoming more than we currently are, but often choose to live within our comfort zones and operate beneath our full potential. In essence, we are only partially aware of our true capabilities and tend to settle for less than what we could actually achieve.
